 Mark's American Cuisine Restaurant Review: Mark’s American Cuisine is known as one of the most romantic restaurants in Houston. It’s nestled inside a 1920’s former church, and the interior boasts hand-painted Deco walls and candlelit tables. In addition to the “Cloisters” main dining room, there’s the smaller “Loft” area that overlooks it, which we prefer. Chef/owner Mark Cox’s daily changing menu, however, is the real attraction. Starters have included grilled Texas quail, duck and apple ravioli with roasted oxtail and Texas peaches. You’re in luck if the soup of the day is white lobster bisque and the grilled, spice-rubbed filet of bison or the trio of seafood --- Nantucket scallop, grilled shrimp and lobster grit cake --- are available as entrées. End the meal with a dessert from pastry chef Sam Major (ordering his cakes to-go is a River Oaks tradition). Wine director Cathy Nguyen oversees an extensive, and expensive, wine list. |
